Here’s An Infographic Explaining All The Branches Of U.S. Special Forces

Like baseball, porno, the SEC, and pizza buffets, the U.S. Special Forces definitely make my list of “things I’m thankful for.” Pizza buffets shot up this list after TFM’s video producer and I stopped at one in rural Texas the other day, hungover and desperate enough to eat at a pizza buffet (the lack of Whataburgers on this route was inexcusable). Sadly, yet gloriously, it was one of the most satisfying meals of my life. Plus you don’t have to adhere to societal niceties when you’re eating at a place like that, so I pretty much powered through that fucker like a tornado with a mouth.

But more important than even pizza buffets are our boys (and girls) in blue. So, since one of the best forms of gratitude is understanding (right behind blow jobs and new iPads), here’s a little bit of education on one of the most revered branches of our military, the U.S. Special Operations Command.

It should be noted, if only to cut down on bitchy comments, which destroy my thankfulness for anything, that these units aren’t categorized by the branch that they’re in, but rather where they often operate, which is why the Night Stalkers are listed as “air” even though they’re Army..

That infograph needed to point out that the “Green Berets” are not only unique in there force multiplier role for the U.S., but the entire world. No other military has a branch dedicated to force multiplication first, and fighting second. They are truly the most versatile soldiers anywhere.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Russian Spetsnaz do a variation of Green Beret civ. training. Only difference is the green beanies are out to “win hearts and minds.” Dad was in Bragg in the early 70’s. Some serious shit those boys get into.

I’m from Fayetteville NC (home of Fort Bragg) and you can just tell when you are in the pretense of one before they even tell you. My friend’s dad is a recently retired Delta Operator who has a huge scar running from his chest to his pant line from get cut open with a sword in Afghanistan back in 2008…that’s right A FUCKING SWORD…truly a different breed of humans.
